Hello,

Following up on the discussion on the incubation mailing list (cf. https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/incubator/2025-April/004998.html), we would like to formally request that SFCGAL be accepted as an OSGeo Community Project.

As previously stated, SFCGAL satisfies every Community Project prerequisite:

- It is a geospatial library :
     - With a [REAMDE.md](ttps://gitlab.com/sfcgal/SFCGAL/-/blob/decb57303422aa97ad4d8324fb30d35dd34df147/README.md)
     - with [documentations](https://sfcgal.gitlab.io/SFCGAL/)
- It uses an OSI-approved license (LGPL-2.0-or-later),
     - As requestd by Jody, this year, we have updated all source headers to include correct copyright + SPDX identifiers,

     // Copyright (c) 2012-2013, IGN France.
     // Copyright (c) 2012-2024, Oslandia.
     // Copyright (c) 2024-2025, SFCGAL team.
     // SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.0-or-later

- The project is openly developed, [contributions are welcomed](https://gitlab.com/sfcgal/SFCGAL/-/blob/decb57303422aa97ad4d8324fb30d35dd34df147/CONTRIBUTING.md), and has a solid history of issues and pull requests,
- We have a [Code of Conduct](https://gitlab.com/sfcgal/SFCGAL/-/blob/decb57303422aa97ad4d8324fb30d35dd34df147/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)

Thanks again for the helpful feedback in the previous exchanges.

Best,
Loïc Bartoletti (on behalf of the SFCGAL PSC)
